About the role

UI Designer creating accessible, high-fidelity user interfaces for Global Digital experiences at Ford. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure effective product designs.

Responsibilities

Own UI design execution for Global Digital product experiences, delivering polished, accessible, high-fidelity interfaces from concept through launch.
Create development-ready design deliverables: responsive layouts, detailed mockups, component variants, interaction states (default/hover/active/focus/disabled), and annotated specs.
Apply and evolve design system patterns to maintain consistency, speed delivery, and improve quality across teams.
Design for accessibility and inclusivity by default (contrast, typography, focus states, keyboard patterns, readable layouts across devices).
Build interactive prototypes to validate interaction patterns, page behavior, and complex states, and to align quickly with partners.
Partner with product, content, and engineering to shape user flows, information hierarchy, and page-level experiences that balance customer needs with business goals.
Use data and feedback (site analytics, experiments, usability findings, customer input) to iterate designs and improve outcomes.
Present work and rationale to stakeholders with clear storytelling, options, tradeoffs, and recommendations.
Support implementation through close engineering collaboration, UI QA, and refinement to ensure what ships matches the intended experience.
Contribute to near- and long-term experience vision across devices and locales, focusing on scalable UI patterns.

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
5+ years of professional experience in UI design, product design, visual design, or UI roles with significant high-fidelity UI ownership.
A portfolio demonstrating exceptional UI craft (layout, typography, hierarchy, interaction states) plus end-to-end product thinking, with case studies.
Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering or related field (even better).
Experience designing consumer-facing web or mobile product experiences at scale (even better).
Expert Figma skills (auto layout, components, variants, libraries), and comfort working within a design system (even better).
Strong visual design acumen demonstrated through owning product UI end-to-end and raising polish and consistency (even better).
Experience collaborating tightly with engineers and understanding front-end constraints and patterns (responsive behavior, performance considerations, frameworks) (even better).
Experience running or partnering on discovery and validation (interviews, usability testing) and translating insights into shipped improvements (even better).
Familiarity with Agile/Lean delivery and iterative release cycles (even better).
Experience designing for global markets, localization, and content variability (even better).
Desire to thrive in a fast-moving environment (even better).
